This morning, I weighed and after a few weeks of not losing, I lost 2 pounds!
Yay! 45 pounds so far! Wewt! Great! I like to share my losses with everyone, because I am so excited I just can't keep it in! So, I posted on my FB status that I lost two more. My mother's friend is one of the greatest ladies I know in many ways. She is funny, supported and was an ear I could count on as a kid, and is a woman I deeply respect as an adult. BUT, on my status this morning, she said "I lost 5 pounds in one day...did it the hard way though." She is on the cabbage soup diet. I don't particularly think that's the healthiest diet, and would be really unsatisfying. Who am I to judge her? But, when she said that, I don't know if she was implying that my weight loss was just easy, but it most certainly is not. I do a lot of work every day with my exercise and diet. I log every single morsel that goes past my lips, and I do workout 3-6 times a week running 3-7 miles a few times a week and kettle bell workouts the rest of the days, which are intense and really get the blood pumping! I'm not saying her diet is particularly easy. Heck, I'd be seriously bummed only eating cabbage soup. That in and of itself is difficult. But, my weight loss has in no way been easy. I feel like I fight for every pound-there is fire in my blood every day and I use that to get those pounds off. It's not easy. I don't understand why people have this perception that for some weight loss is easy. I've been fat for 6 years now and if it were so easy, I would have done it years ago.
